All proceeds from the event will benefit Salupongan International (SI), and help provide educational tools and supplies to Salupongan's READ (Right to Education, Autonomy and Dignity) Program. They are a grassroots organization inspired by the aspirations of the Manobo Talaingod tribe; who united their villages and defended their ancestral land and rainforest from being destroyed by corporate loggers decades ago in the Southern Mindanao Region of the Philippines. Today, they continue to protect their ancestral land, educate their children and empower their communities in the spirit and legacy of Salupongan Ta’ Tanu Igkanugon “Unity in Defense of Ancestral Land”.

Millions of children in the Philippines lack the opportunity to pursue their basic human right to receive an education because of systemic poverty living on less than $1-2 dollars a day. Indigenous peoples, especially children, are one of the most marginalized sectors in the Philippines.
